Abstract
Information and Communication for Development (ICT4D) research is characterized by its dynamism, interdisciplinarity, and fragmented adhocracy. This makes it difficult for stakeholders t communicate and share knowledge. Stakeholders, including academia, practitioners, government, non-government and funding agencies, could benefit from a shared conceptualization to enhance communication and increase knowledge production and impact. Visualisation is one of the oldest mechanisms for supporting human communication, and visualisation has proven efficacious in terms of enhancing knowledge creation and transfer in interdisciplinary contexts.
